The Peeculiar Corona Ark

Cancer? Covid? Or just depression? Fret not. Dr Pragya Singh Thakur has got you covered. In effulgent yellow.

The all-in-one cure for everything incurable바카라”like Covid or cancer (of cells, but largely the infected gooey grey matter above)바카라”is the processed fluid of a holy cow바카라™s kidneys and urinary ­system. That바카라™s cow urine to you, but don바카라™t make the mistake of calling it waste matter because there are abundant people swearing by the miraculous therapeutic wonders of the gau mata바카라™s bodily discharges. And cow urine never had it so good until the coronavirus took charge of human affairs바카라”both life and death. Shamans prescribing dunk-and-drink cow urine remedies are ­having a field day on all platforms we have our eyes and ears on: WhatsApp, YouTube, official press statements, you name it. One such advocate of this bovine remedy is Pragya Singh Thakur, the BJP바카라™s Lok Sabha MP ­representing Bhopal. She prescribes the gau mutra cure for Covid with clear and precise instructions.

The self-proclaimed Sadhvi told a gathering in Bhopal바카라™s Bairagarh that the real deal is gau mutra ark (cow urine extract and not just cow urine바카라”for queries about the difference, contact Thakur바카라™s office) and it바카라™ll be effective only if it바카라™s from a desi cow with pure Indian roots바카라”sorry, the Jerseys won바카라™t do. While the efficacy of Covid vaccines may still be under question, Thakur바카라™s prescription came with an efficiency certificate, validated by god himself. 바카라śI take gau mutra ark every day.바카라¦ I am not affected by coronavirus. God will protect me as I am using gau mutra ark.바카라ť

Ordinary Bhopalis, who elected Thakur to the Lok Sabha with a massive lead of over 3.5 lakh votes against Congress veteran Digvijaya Singh, are still a conflicted lot. While Thakur waxed eloquent about the benefits of cow urine, it turns out that the entire staff at her official residence in Bhopal had tested positive for the coronavirus; some members even required hospitalisation. Didn바카라™t Thakur, who takes pride in being a sanyasin, share her deep medical ­insights about a cure for Covid with those who work for her? And if she did, why didn바카라™t they heed her advice?

There바카라™s another grouse that Bhopalis have with Thakur. The state capital has been battling a worsening Covid outbreak since April. It has over 9,000 active cases currently. However, Thakur바카라™s appearances in Bhopal have been rare since the first lockdown last year. During the first wave, the local BJP defended her ­absence, saying she was 바카라śundergoing treatment for cancer at AIIMS in Delhi바카라ť (curiously, she had previously claimed that her cancer was in ­remission and gau mutra had a role there too). This time around, she made a fleeting visit to the BJP바카라™s state HQ on March 2 and reappeared only 70 days later바카라”this month for a ­photo-op to distribute masks and ­vapouriser machines, and then to share the gau mutra ark remedy.
